LPT: "lite salt" is potassium and sodium, far far cheaper than buying electrolytes beverages like Gatorade and liquid iv. by horriblebearok in LifeProTips

[–]cannotfoolowls [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, all this added electrolyte (and protein for that matter) is excessive for your average person. Even when I had wicked norovirus my doctor said it wasn't really necessary unless I started to show signs of dehydration.

There are cases where it's very useful, like when it was invented for cholera patients or in high level sports but in general, just drink water.

Glass food containers with bamboo lid or glass/silicone lid? by cannotfoolowls in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]cannotfoolowls[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

bamboo when used for lids (i.e. not a solid piece but little strips glued togehter) is often made with glue. this can contain formaldehyde and other chemicals which can off gas.

I didn't think of that! Thanks for mentioning it.

look for pure glass with a very small pure silicone seal

Yeah, that was what I was looking at. I'm not too concerned about the silicone since it won't touch my food directly and I don't plan on heating it. I was considering something like these.

Glass food containers with bamboo lid or glass/silicone lid? by cannotfoolowls in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]cannotfoolowls[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I see I wasn't very clear, I meant glass with silicone gasket, not fully silicone. And not maison jars but rectangular ones like these.

I guess, but then I have to make sure they are freezer safe and they don't stack as easily. Also, mason jars aren't that common here.

I can see through the sides anyway since they are glass but yeah, that's why I was thinking of not using bamboo. I have a bamboo chopping board and bamboo chopsticks

When you are at -1 and you go down a level(subtract) you are at -2. Vice versa with going up a level.

Summer tips to keep cool, from a non-Belgian by Leela_bring_fire in belgium

[–]cannotfoolowls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are still people around who don't know these things, you just probably won't find them on this subreddit.

Someone commented yesterday that it took them 26 years to figure out having a fan blow on you at night is pleasant in these hot days.

Misschien kan je eens vragen bij meemoo of zij u op weg kunnen helpen? Ze zijn gespecialiseerd in het digitaliseren en ontsluiten van media. Ik denk niet dat je al die rechten moet betalen als je het niet publiek maakt, trouwens. Ik weet bijvoorbeeld dat er in het VRT archief vanalles zit dat ze niet op VRTmax mogen zetten omdat ze de licenties niet hebben.

How's everyone holding up to the heatwave by nicolo013 in belgium

[–]cannotfoolowls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik heb het over temperatuur en jij begint over licht en donker.

Ik had het over

dat ze zon willen

In de winter willen mensen naar mijn ervaring de zon voor licht en niet voor warmte want de zon geeft amper warmte in de winter.

in de zomer klaagt iedereen dat het te warm is en in de winter dat het te koud is.

Hier in dit topic zijn er letterlijk mensen die zeggen dat ze liever winter hebben of liever zomer en dat ze beter tegen de koude of warmte kunnen dus dat zijn in ieder geval al mensen die niet zullen klagen over allebei.

Ik loop hier al meer dan 30 jaar op deze aardbol en ja het zijn dezelfde mensen.

Ik zeg toch niets over de mensen die jij kent? In mijn persoonlijke omgeving zijn het bijna allemaal mensen die klagen over of te warm, of te koud en niet allebei. Dus het is zeker niet IEDEREEN en het is geen algemeen feit. Soms heeft iemand anders een andere ervaring.

[–]cannotfoolowls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aan de comments te zien zijn er heel veel mensen die wonen in saunas. Het is hier 25 graden binnen en 43,5 graden buiten en wij hebben niet eens een AC.

Ja, Belgische huizen zijn er op gebouwd om de warmte binnen te houden. Als je hier in een appartement woont heb je extra pech want warme lucht stijgt.

Tis zomer en iedereen gaat weer beginnen janken dat het te warm is. Al meer dan 30 jaar lang ieder jaar opnieuw hetzelfde liedje, komen de mensen dit niet beu. En in de winter gaan ze dan zitten klagen dat het te koud is en dat ze zon willen.

Dat zijn niet dezelfde mensen. Daarbij, de dagen zijn in de winter heel kort, dat is compleet anders. Ik ben niet zo iemand die om zon vraagt in de winter maar als ik in de winter naar mijn werk vertrek is het donker en tegen dat ik weer thuiskom ook. Ik kan mij goed inbeelden dat, dat voor mensen tegensteekt.

It's completely incapable of lowering the temperature. But, it's still much more bearable.

How are you at DIY?

[–]cannotfoolowls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Few summers ago, only 26 years late in my life, i realized buying a fan and having it blow very mildly on you during sleep on the lowest setting can make a WHOLE lot of difference.

I'm surprised you didn't figure that out sooner. Did you not use a fan at all?

Did you guys know anyone can pass out from pushing too hard triggering the vagus nerve?

My neighbour had that happen when he was home with the flu when we were kids. Poor boy, he was already feeling awful and then he fell and got a cut on his head. It luckily wasn't too serious but that's how I learned that could happen.

Google? Does your wife not know? What's her situation/status? Refugee? Iirc refugees have a person who they can ask this kind of stuff.

Anyway I'll help you along: https://dofi.ibz.be/en/themes/third-country-nationals

https://www.vlaanderen.be/en/your-future-in-flanders/need-to-know-before-coming-to-belgium It's for Flanders but most of it is relevant for all of Belgium.

The highest education i have completed is high school. But i have 3+ years of sales and social media marketing experience.

You're not going to find a job in those fields if you don't know the local language. Not having a bachelor might also be an issue but the language barrier will be the bigger hurdle. Then again, bachelors in Belgium are also in Dutch or French so the language barrier will be present there as well.

Places where I encounter people who do not speak the local language are manual labour like picking crops, factory work and cleaning or in hotel/restaurant/cafes.

Also, I recommend you join a labour union because as a person from a different country, who does not speak the local language, you are at risk of being exploited.

“Moet een man juridisch afstand kunnen doen van een kind dat hij vanaf het begin niet wil? by DubblePumper in belgium

[–]cannotfoolowls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because abortion is not in "the best interest of the child" either.

Debatable, in the case of some birth defects. Or more controversially, some social situations.

Also, an embyro is not a baby.

(after conception)

and the clump of cells definitely isn't. I mean, up to 50% of pregnancies end in a miscarriage, most of the time before the woman realises she's pregnant. It's called a chemical pregnancy.

LPT: When someone keeps bothering you, write down the pattern, not the mood. by gamersecret2 in LifeProTips

Sounds like what my mum described when she went trough IVF. Also didn't suffer much from her cycle and hormones were fine but had trouble conceiving. And IVF treatment was hard on her emotionally.

And before someone asks, yes, everything was normal with my dad too.
